Dear Dr. Martinez,


I hope this email finds you well.  The 2013-2014 Fulbright U.S. Scholar Competition is underway and is currently welcoming applications from scholars interested in teaching or conducting research in Latin America, Canada and the Caribbean.  Proposals will be considered from professionals, as well as junior and senior scholars, in a wide variety of disciplines.

I would appreciate it if you could please pass this information on to colleagues in the Ecuadorian Studies LASA Section who may be interested in applying for a Fulbright Award.  To address any questions applicants may have about opportunities throughout the Western Hemisphere region, we have scheduled a webinar for Tuesday, March 20, 2012 from 2:00 PM-3:00 PM EDT.  Please register<https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/695023848> today to reserve your participation in the webinar.
